The place was a secluded old warehouse. It was said that something had happened inside before, and it had been abandoned since, becoming the base for the small soldier squad.
Yao Jingsong didn't take Gu Lingling on the main road but rather on a secluded path.
"We found this little path when we were playing; you completely wouldn't notice it," Yao Jingsong whispered, "In a moment we'll circle around from there and get through a barbed wire to see what's inside."
"No matter what you see, you must not speak. If we're discovered, we're in trouble."
Afraid that Gu Lingling might cause trouble for him, he received a disdainful look in return. If the situation allowed, Gu Lingling would definitely throw a brick at him.
Gu Lingling noticed that he was taking her through places without snow, which put her at ease.
This little brother seemed careless on regular days, but in fact, he was quite meticulous. If they had just barged in, the footprints left on the snow when they left would expose their tracks.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached near the barbed wire, the noise from the old warehouse could be heard—both male and female voices.
At Yao Jingsong's signal, Gu Lingling crawled through the hole in the barbed wire. Yao Jingsong was evidently used to doing this kind of thing and got through nimbly, then beckoned to Gu Lingling.
The two of them quietly approached together.
The warehouse had several broken windows, and as they came in, there happened to be one not far away. Gu Lingling crouched and crawled over, slowly lifting her head to look inside through a crack in the window.
Her position was exactly facing a corner of the warehouse, and Old Man Zhou was tied up there in that corner.
"Deputy Captain, what are we going to do with the old man later?" Gu Lingling heard someone talking inside.
"Him? We'll deal with him after we've had our fun," Gu Juan's voice reached Gu Lingling's ears, "Once it gets cold, throwing him out would be enough to give him a hard time."
"Drink? Hahaha... Grandfather's urine would be enough for him to drink," someone laughed heartily.
"Ma Liu, you think you're a virgin? You've *beep* so many girls already." Gu Lingling recognized the voice; it was the guy with the side part from today with Gu Juan.
"Wang Xiao'er, are you talking about yourself?" Ma Liu laughed heartily, "Whether it's virgin pee or not, let's make this old thing drink up first."
Gu Lingling, hearing this, wished she could rip apart Ma Liu's mouth.
Damn it, are they even human?
They're so young, yet so cruel?
"Don't move." Yao Jingsong pressed Gu Lingling's shoulder, whispering, "We've seen the people; let's discuss this after we get out."
"Let's wait a bit longer." Gu Lingling shook her head, carefully observing the situation inside through the hole again.
This one glance scared the living daylights out of Gu Lingling.
These kids... some were about her age, some even younger, they... they inside...
Gu Lingling silently looked at the sky.
"What's wrong?" Sensing Gu Lingling's peculiarity, Yao Jingsong asked, then looked through Gu Lingling's view and shut his eyes after a glance.
Damn it... he needed to go back and wash his eyes.
"Let's go." Since they had seen the scene inside, she didn't want to look anymore.
On their way out, both were unusually silent, not uttering a single word. Once at a safe place, Yao Jingsong looked at Gu Lingling complexly, "What do you plan to do?"
Not just Gu Lingling, even he had almost felt like beating those brats after hearing the words just now.
"Go to one place." Gu Lingling said calmly.
